Fun Stuff > BAND
Does it exist? help!
Johnny C:
I'd rather dance to Daft Punk than FSOL though.
mediumrare:
I'm trying to trace any hint of a similarity between Daft Punk and that FSOL song, to maybe help me understand why they were mentioned at all in this thread.
UberDrivel:
Hm, actually just...acquired Accelerator, should listen s'more.
Daft Punk have widespread appeal because they're accessible. I don't know what people have against more abstract stuff (I love it), but it seems like if you don't have lyrics - even a couple repetitive sentences - you're thrown into that "techno" crowd, which is basically a tag for anything that doesn't have a voice or a guitar (I prefer the term "electronica"). But preferences aside, I think House music wins out on "fun" factor; it's pretty much pop music built around 4/4 beats. I read someone elitist (Pitchfork, probably) calling house music "the lowest of the low," but being accessible isn't a bad thing. It's a matter of taste, as always, but I'd think more people would rather dance to Daft Punk...and more people still would rather get crunk. :( But going back to the original post, I think "Nightvision" proves that they can get ambient, but they choose not to.
Anyhow, I'd rather listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu9o6Nt6xR0

Do you often also have trouble finding similarities between The Who and The Beatles?
mediumrare:
No.
Again a display of ignorance of relevance. Stop it, please.
